Dillo is very easy to use and gives the option to view pictures, but suffers from slowness and the fact that the text is graphically rendered so not as sharp as the text in character mode. If you would prefer a text-mode browser for faster browsing, sharper text and general hairy-chested text-mode Linux wizard points, Kludged Linux includes the dpgk utility to install .deb packages. Links is a text-mode browser with a very low memory footprint and few dependencies, making it ideal to install on the Psion. The deb package can be found on the debian old stable package repository. To install links:

Download the ARM architecture links package to your PC from one of the mirror links on this page
Shutdown the Psion (shutdown -r now at the console, then press Menu-Esc after the beep before it boots up again) and remove the CF card to plug into your PC
Mount the CF card (mount -t ext2 /dev/XXX2 /mnt/psionlinux)
Copy the file to the CF card (cp /path/links_blah.deb /mnt/psionlinux/usr/)
Unmount the CF card (umount /dev/XXX1), plug it back into the Psion, turn it on and wait for it to reboot.
Now, after logging in, type
'cd /usr
dpkg -i links_blah.deb (tab completion helps out here, you can just type "dpkg -i links" and press tab to let the prompt complete the command for you
links index.html (or whatever the path to your index page is) will start links at the chosen page. Again, sorry there are no screenshots but IIRC this process doesn't give you much feedback if everything works OK, so there's not much to show.

Links takes a little getting used to, especially as it scrolls page by page rather than line by line. The important commands in Links are:
space- down a page
b- up a page
down arrow- next link
up arrow- previous link
right arrow- follow highlighted link
left arrow- back
esc- open menu (while in menu, arrow keys navigate as expected)

Again, more about how to use Links at their website.
